Petaling Street’s heritage backlane Kwai Chai Hong ushers in the Chinese New Year festivities with its latest art installation, themed Guardians Of Legacy.

The installation, on display through March 8, gets its inspiration from the cloth tiger, a beloved form of folk art that is traditionally handmade by parents or grandparents and gifted to children as an expression of love.
